“I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some great partners and whatever I get, I like to share with my teammates,” James told NEOMG. “It’s just my way of showing them that I care. That’s it. It’s not the first time and it won’t be the last time.”

No one was more excited about their gift than Smith. He has a player option for next year, and it sounds as if James’ giving spirit could play a part in his decision-making process.

“I don’t know how he does it, but every day it’s something different,” Smith said with a laugh. “Watches, sneakers, Beats [headphones], hoodies, book-bags. Man, I can’t wait to come back next year. I want to see what we’re getting next year.”

Brendan Haywood also issued a comment on James’ kindness by offering a unique compliment.

“Look, LeBron is probably the greatest player in the world who gives out gifts like it’s candy,” he said. “We look forward to it every single time.”

When the star player genuinely cares about his teammates’ well-being, the rest of the troops follow his lead, knowing he has their best interests at heart. They see James playing 50 minutes and giving it everything that he has, and in return, they’re doing the same.’
